<p>archaeopteryx- thanks for sharing. I still dont know if there is a god or not, still being in high school there is this stage in my life that i just want there to be a god to help me out but the realistic sense comes to mind that it is all a lie but stories like yours is very realistic and interesting to read about thanks for sharing </p>

<p>I usually follow it up with a link to the video "Science Saved My Soul" by Phillennes on YouTube and that typically quiets the religious types because it explains in such a beautiful way how wonderful the universe is when you look at it in a purely scientific non-religious way.</p>

<p>@ dizzieduckie - My reply to the person that wrote that nonsense: Oh yes, let us be thankful to God. Oh! The universe is such an awesome place. Think of it. There is mass starvation of children, endless horrific wars, wide spread fatal disease, child rapers, baby killers, and a whole host of other awesomeness! (heart)"</p>
<p>(end of sarcasm)</p>
<p>@ dizzieduckie - To bad we have not yet learned how to capture the awesome parts of science and use them to make life as we know it, at least tolerable to the point where we don't have to turn off the news due to sheer disgust at the state of current affairs.</p> Aaaaaarrrggghhhhhh! tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2012-05-24:1982180:Comment:11278772012-05-24T10:29:35.462ZDianehttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/DianeJackson

<p>I got a lady to, apparently, be chastised by her own Christian cronies over her statements to me on FB. She was caught acting like an ass in the name of Jesus. I didn't regret anything I had to say. Ok, well maybe I didn't need to say that I'd rather gouge out my own eyeballs than watch the blithering videos to which she gave me links, but that could happen to anybody!</p>

<p>Rachel, please believe me, there's no offense intended, but did you know that your name, in Hebrew, means, "female sheep"? But in a good way, I mean, we're talking, cute, fluffy, all good stuff --</p>
